Ireland is an economy, society and culture at the edge. It is at the edge of Europe and at the edge of both USA/UK and more mainland European or EU variants of capitalism. More recently it has been at the edge of economic crisis. Yet enterprise discourse is still central in Ireland. Enterprise discourse in Ireland is influenced by global and European Union (EU) developments. However, Irish enterprise discourse is not merely a 'local adoption'. For example, high Irish economic growth rates during the 'Celtic Tiger' period have coincided with the development of the EU's enterprise policy, thus giving the impression that Ireland can serve as a model. Following the recent economic crisis, Ireland's response of slashing public expenditure has been held up for others to emulate. Thus an examination of enterprise discourse in Ireland is of concern to more than residents of Ireland.

While discourse markers have been examined in some detail, little is known about their usage by non-native speakers. This book provides valuable insights into the functions of four discourse markers (so, well, you know and like) in native and non-native English discourse, adding to both discourse marker literature and to studies in the pragmatics of learner language. It presents a thorough analysis on the basis of a substantial parallel corpus of spoken language. In this corpus, American students who are native speakers of English and German non-native speakers of English retell and discuss a.

"Investigating Workplace Discourse explores the characteristics of different types of workplace conversation, such as decision-making, training, briefing or making arrangements. Particular attention is also given to interactions with a more social focus, such as small talk or office gossip."
